[nem-en] Re: Scala: what you say about it?

Totally agreed with Vlad. Making a community larger is a very
important task. Because, when the current team deserts the support of
the language (it's possible), there will be somebody to take over.
OTOH, the tool is nothing without its use and anybody, who use it.

Yeah, debugging doesn't exist for lamdas, indeed. Perhaps, it deals
with a problem debugging anonymous methods in C#, but as a user, I
don't care: all functional-style constructs are hard to debug now.

And, hey! Don't forget to include traits in the release!

And I think lots of minor problems will appear as soon as the
community become larger. Ten active Nemerle users just cannot see all
of them: like a problem with lists serializing. ;)
